TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS

CAUSE NO. D1-DC-13-302230

STATE'S SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

The State of Texas respectfully moves for an extension of the deadline for

filing the State’s brief and, in accordance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure

38.6 and 10.5(b), advises the Court as follows:

(a) Following his conviction for Possession Prohibited Weapon, the

appellant filed his notice of appeal in the above cause on February 9, 2015.

Appellant filed a brief on June 29, 2015.

(b) The State’s brief is currently due on August 28, 2015. 1 (c) This request is that the deadline for filing the State’s brief be extended

by 30 days.

(d) The number of previous extensions of time granted for submission of

the State’s brief is: one.

(e) The State relies upon the following facts to reasonably explain the

need for an extension of the deadline:

1. During the period since this brief was filed, the attorney assigned

to this case has been working on other pressing appellate matters

and has not had sufficient time to prepare an adequate response to

this brief.

2. This request is not made for the purpose of delay, but to ensure

that the Court has a proper State’s brief to aid in the just

disposition of the above cause.

2 WHEREFORE, the State of Texas respectfully requests that the deadline for

filing the State’s brief be extended to September 28, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,
